The recent training set was highly praised. "Since Li Tie took over, the preparations for the four games have gone well, and during the Shanghai training session we watched the warm-up matches, and the overall feeling was that they were all well-prepared for a smooth transition to the next stage."
In this training list, Ickerson, Alan, Fernando, Jiang Guangtai, Li Ke and other naturalized players are listed. Talking about the naturalized players, Fan Zhiyi said, "Naturalization is undoubtedly a strategy and a response to market demand. That aside, I think the national team's current spirit is very good."
Looking ahead to the upcoming four Top 40 matches, Fan Zhiyi said confidently, "As the tournament approaches, Guam, Maldives, Syria and the Philippines are not our opponents. If these four teams can't be defeated, then what's the point of the next games? Let's just play these games well in the next few days. Even if the score is 1-0, it's still the same. The key is to have priorities, Syria is our strongest opponent."
Fan concluded by reiterating his confidence in the four matches of the Top 40.
"In terms of the timing and the circumstances at the moment, including the epidemic factor, the preparation of the national team, the atmosphere, the personnel and so on, I'm confident for these four games."
According to the schedule released by the AFC, China will play their first match against Guam on May 30, followed by the Maldives on June 3, the Philippines on June 9, and finally challenging Syria in the final match on June 15th. All matches will be played at the Suzhou Olympic Sports Center.
